' Tfr-ZZ 'whom t may conce-rn:` llc it,ltiiowntliat l, HARM o'l theUnited States of America, residing at liakeiicld, in the county -iofJ'ackson' and State .ot Minnesota., have invented certain! new anduseful lini'n'ove-ineiits in Attach-v n'ients ior lniants Chairs, oiwhich the following is a specification,l reference beingl had thereintothe accompanying drawinO.

This invention i'elates'to an attachment larly. a fastening designed foruse in attach .ing a bowl, plateor other similar food re` Aeeptacle orarticle to the table or shelf of a babys high chair, whereby vthe:article may7 Abe secuied in position against any possi- Vbility oi beingknocked over or otherwise displaced.' f

The object of the invention is to provide a 'fastener which is simple ofconstruction and .adapted for use in holding the article in place, andwhich isnreadily detachable from the chair and also from the article andcapable of being manufaeturedand.sold at a comparatively lonr cost.

kThe invention consists in the features of construction and thecombination ,and a'rrangemeiit of .parts hereinafter described, setforth in the .appended claims and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which: t i

'Figure '1 .v is a the invention as adaptedifor use in securing a bowltothe tray or shelf of an infants high chair; Fig. 2-is a' verticalsection through one side of the b aseof the bowl, the shelf and theadjacent portion ofthe fastener; Fig. 3 is a top plan View of thefastener; and Fig. 4is av perspective-View ofyj modified form offastening bolt.

I The fastener comprises a' holding ring composed of a pair ofcounterpart semi-` circnlar members, which mcmbersniay be` made of wireor other suitable material, wire of a suitable gage being preferablyemployed. 'The ends of these semi-circular wire sections [1 and 2 areturned outwardly laterallyT in parallel relation and formed intovertically disposed eyes 3, the adiacent eyes being .united-byconnecting 'bolts ll i Specification of Letters Patent.

The bowl being.

thus rigidly connected with the shelf, it cannot be knocked ,over`anditseontents spilled and will' be held from displacement in any manneruntil itis desired to vrelease and remove itlwhich maw7 be accomplishedby simply uniastenine one oi the screws l and opening the holding ringforthe dis- 'engagement of the flange 1Q therefrom.v or

` by removing the mits l0 and withdrawing the device from engagementwith the shelf il. It will thiisbe seen that by means oic the improvedattachment' or fastening device a bowl or other similar article may besecured to the shelf in a conveniently removable manner, and thatif4desirfa'l the ring may '.bc left as a permanent attachment to the shellandthe bowl applied and removed by .y simply nnfastening andfasteningthe ring sections at one end by manipulation of one ofthe bolts4.101' the holder may be left per manently attached to the bowl orreceptacle and removed therewith. it being evident that tlievringmaybedetached from the bowl atany time in an extremely simple manner.
